Cannes Lions announces jury line-up for 2015; 54 will represent Asia on the respective juries
Cannes Lions has today announced members of the 16 juries of the 2015 Festival of Creativity.
309 senior industry professionals from 44 countries have been named. This is the most diverse line-up in the history of the Festival and includes the first judges from The Czech Republic, Ecuador and Indonesia – testament to an ever-increasing diversity of countries now winning Lions. More women will judge than ever before (31.5% compared to 28.5% last year and 20% in 2013), while the range of job profiles represented also continues to expand, now including an architect, fashion designer and head of emerging technologies.
Says Phillip Thomas, CEO, Lions Festival: “Enormous consideration is given to who will judge. We seek out those who’ve distinguished themselves over the course of a career in creativity – people recognised for their professional achievements, but equally valued for their vision, admired for their passion and trusted for their integrity.”
Juries will convene in Cannes during the Festival for 11 days in total to review, debate and decide the fate of an anticipated 40,000 entries – a process that Thomas describes as challenging, inspiring and important to the future of the industry.
Says Thomas: “The task of judges is to identify truly great creative thinking and award iconic ideas. It involves long hours, impassioned debate and difficult choices. But ultimately their choices will inspire the industry and show the way forward for communications over the coming years.”

I wonder what was Malaysia’s criteria used to choose a judge? Based on the number of Cannes wins?
I’m curious. Does that mean the new criteria for selecting a malaysian jury is not winning at cannes at all?
Wow. Malaysia must be shortage of good creative leader.
I think Cannes and Ham should explain Malaysia’s choice.
Is the malaysian advertising scene suffering from such a current shortage that we have no choice but to nominate someone who hasn’t had a sniff of a cannes lion? Keep calm and rock on at backyard.
“We seek out those who’ve distinguished themselves over the course of a career in creativity – people recognised for their professional achievements, but equally valued for their vision, admired for their passion and trusted for their integrity.”
What I know is the Malaysian judge never won any Cannes Lions, not even finalist. Malaysia boleh!?
Confirm la
http://www.canneslions.com/cannes_lions/awards/how_the_juries_are_selected/
Cannes should explain as well!
Agencies are spending tons of money on entries fees.
The least the Cannes ca do if double check and choose good judges or someone that has won at Cannes.
On their site they claimed they follow “a rigorous jury selection procedure”.
What actually is that?
If they did how come come one that has Never Ever Won at Cannes is now judging at Cannes?
WTF!
BTW, did Sathi even get a finalist at Cannes? Would anyone know?
if he’s going to be deciding what’s good and what is going to win he better have won at Cannes before.
We don’t there’s no guarantees at awards shows and sometimes certain things/ideas win when maybe they shouldn’t. That happens and you can please everyone. But you can’t start off with bad judges and expect to have great results.
The local representatives can nominate but surely Cannes have final say.
I guess Cannes don’t give a damn. All they care is money and profits.
I’m sure Cannes can easier check or find out if the nominated juries have ever won at Cannes.
Apparently on their site once again the claimed – ‘All judges must be award-winning”
It’s really stupid. How can Cannes be so silly? Supporting the fact that you don’t need to win at Cannes to judge at Cannes. That just makes a Cannes even less important.
D&AD, One Show and even Clio selected their jury well. They do their homework and tries their best to select good jury or creatives that have won awards.
Kim you know those guys quite well, right?
Can you ask them?
We wanna hear from Cannes!
Cannes we are waiting for your response!
Malaysia is just full of haters.
Lotta scammers still on the jury
Tony Lee has passed away. Pancreatic cancer. He was Malaysia 4A president for two terms
For a country thats only on the map for scam you sure get a lot of lip fm malaysia.
March 30, 2015 10:49 AM said: “For a country thats only on the map for scam you sure get a lot of lip fm malaysia. ”
Yep, and even then not on the map recently, either. Kinda vanished.
So I nominate Malaysia for a Cannes Lip Lion. New category.
Grand Prix coming your way, KL…….
True dat must be in Singapore and keeping updated with malaysia. Bro, when the jobs dry up and rent gets too expensive, come over the causeway. We have got a lot of tea lady positions to fill up for you pr types.
The two most record-breaking bitch-fests on CBA, at 90 and 88 comments respectively, were both the product of Malaysian advertising threads.
If mapped against actual creativity, their BTL (Bitching-To-Lion) ratio must be the most imbalanced in Asia.
You’re welcome.
